Hello everyone, We wanted to share news that the Steam version of STAR OCEAN THE DIVINE FORCE performs "pre-shader cache compilation processing" upon first startup, in order to improve rendering performance. Please note that this process takes a few minutes and is executed when first launching. Although this will be a one-time process after installation, we have an option in the game to rerun the process at your discretion such as when you are upgrading your GPU or updating your GPU drivers. We’re so...

This is coming from someone who played the original version of Second Story on the PS1. Is Divine Force worth playing in it's own right, or would my time be better spent playing a remake of a game I've already finished once? I really liked SO:SS. The only other SO game I've played is Till the End of Time, which I thought was decent (absurd plot twist notwithstanding), but not as good as SS....

Giving this game a try again and it's still acting up. As I'm using gfn I'm using a gtx 4090. No idea on the cpu but it's topshelf hardware. Shader compilation takes ages too meaning I'd have to sit around for 15 minutes on each loadup

so im thinking of buying this game but its never on sale and its a bit pricey for its age already. but im willing to buy it if the quality is good but im seeing a awfully alot of complaints from people and the complaints range a lot.
